  2. Made Near Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

  3. Made Near 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. or (KJV)13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. you who formerly were far off you have been brought near

  4. you who formerly were far off far off -makran - a long way off, can mean those far off from God examples of “far off” – see Luke7:6 and Acts 2:36-39 Eph. 2:12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

  6. you have been brought near Eph.2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. near -engys – close at hand, metaphorically meaning near example see Rom 10:8 brought (made) - ginomai - primarily meaning to begin to be, that is, to come into existence or into any state have been made near – aorist, indicative, passive when did this happen? what produced this relationship?

  7. you have been brought near How the word “made” is used in other verses Colossians 1:12 (KJV)Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet (i.e. fit) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Ephesians 1:6 (KJV)To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
